Not bad advice anyway, but Windows XP won't wipe the harddisk without asking, it just won't give you any other option. It will not resize the partitions and leave Mandrake untouched and I suspect that it will require you to overwrite the MBR, thus taking out LILO. However, if there is an empty partition/space on the drive, IIRC, you can use that to install Windows XP and then simply restore LILO and your Mandrake installation should be back as good as new. Never a bad idea to start with XP and then install Mandrake however, Mandrake is much more accepting of XP than the other way around. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
